Description
By default, Flask does not protect form a cross-site request forgery attack. This PR adds the CSRFProtect module as suggested by https://sonarcloud.io/organizations/activeloopai/rules?open=python%3AS4502&rule_key=python%3AS4502
Things to be aware of
Is our usage of Flask worth adding this in for? We could just mark it as not a problem in sonar. At the same time, I don't think it adds much overhead, so seems fine to add to be safe?
Things to worry about
Will adding this break existing ways we use the flask server?
